Model Traffic Ordinance

The Model Traffic Ordinance (MTO) is a standardized set of laws and regulations designed to guide local governments in creating consistent traffic rules. It covers essential topics like speed limits, parking, licensing, and vehicle safety, ensuring orderly and safe road use. By adopting the MTO, municipalities can promote uniformity across jurisdictions, simplify law enforcement, and improve road safety. Essentially, it provides a proven legal framework for managing traffic effectively, while allowing local authorities to customize rules to fit their community’s unique needs.
